Good Majority.

but has not yet Shown up.
The Democrats Elect Mr. McEniry At
tOrney and Three Aldermen j Ohm

Vim. ladders Elected Assistant Su-
pervisor- Returns obtained SO
far.

terday Never before has the labor ele--
ment, or as it has been called, politically
speaking, the peoples party. so boldly
and independently asserted itself in o
local contest ut the polls, and the
failure of utilization of this party
with any other political organization
brought in a three cornored fight in
which patty lines were sharply and
closely drawn, yet it was a suit Of go
as you please" fight, and in the lower
wards it seemed to be more of fight
between Carse and Koehler than be-
tween Carse and Banding. The labor
ticket headed by Bobby" Bennett, State
Master Workmen of the order, was COM
pletely showed under, not being sues
cessful in single instance. The ex-
pertinent probably proved failure in
Rock Island, as was the case elsewhere
Ia the country yesterday.
Virgil NJ Blauding has been elected
mayor without question, and VIM Nc
Eniry has layed out the mau of many poli>
teal compilations, OMara, quite cffec
tually in the contest for city attorney.
The rest of the city licked is undetermin-
ed, returns being very incomplete and
,nroIiablo ,,.,in,r T.. Failura in tho Fifth
ward to preserve a complete abstract, and
the official count will be necessary to de
termine The township ticket. from what
returns Can be obtained is close.
Burgh is elected by 9S plurality over
Rosenheld, while the democrats reelected
John Barge assessor The entire repub-
licaa superylsors' ticket is probably
elected with the exception of Hammer,
who is defeated by VIM. ladders.
